Generally such matters fall into two categories. One is based on contract (i.e. an agreement between two or more parties) and the other is based on a civil wrong caused by one party to another, either deliberately or negligently.

The range of disputes based on contract can vary from the a relatively minor case such as the purchase of defective items, to a multi-million pound claim arising as a result of penalty clauses in a building contract. Civil wrongs include cases of personal injury; damage to property and reputation and negligence by professionals causing financial loss.

If you are involved in a dispute with another individual or company we can advise you on your chances of success and the possible value of your claim. We can negotiate on your behalf and if necessary commence or defend proceedings which, according to the subject matter and the amount of the claim, will be dealt with in either the County Court or the High Court.
